IF YOUR PREDICTED WINNER DID NOT MAKE IT IN THE ACTUAL TOP 15/20 OR SEMIFINAL,YOU WILL AUTOMATICALLY GET A SCORE OF ZERO!2. IF THE ACTUAL WINNER IS NOT IN YOUR TOP 15/20 OR SEMIFINAL LIST,YOU WILL AUTOMATICALLY GET A SCORE OF ZERO!

3. In cases where the actual pageant format is different from the format provided in PG thread the following Scoring Specifics will be applied:

3.1 If the actual pageant chooses FEWER runners-up than the PG asks for, the additional runners-up from the PG entries will be disregarded.EXAMPLE: If the PG has 4 runners-up but the actual pageant has only 2 runners-up, then the 3rd and 4th runner-up in your PG list is omitted.

3.2 If the actual pageant chooses MORE runners-up than the PG asks for, the additional runners-up from the pageant will be disregarded.EXAMPLE: If the PG has 4 runners-up but the actual pageant has 5 runners-up, then the 5th runner-up from the pageant will not be counted.

3.3 If the PG asks for 4 runners-up but the actual pageant chooses only 2 runners-up and Rest of Top 5, then the points for the Rest of Top 5 will be applied.

3.4 If the PG has Rest of Top 5 but the actual pageant has Rest of Top 7, then as we do not know which finalists placed 4th and 5th, we will treat all the remaining finalists as Rest of Top 5.EXAMPLE: If one of your Rest of Top 5 makes the actual Rest of Top 7, you'll get points for correct placement. If your winner/1st RU/2nd RU makes the actual Rest of Top 7, you'll get points for incorrect placement.

3.5 If the PG format includes one winner/title followed by runners-up but the actual pageant distributes multiple titles, then the second and third titles will correspond to the 1st and 2nd RUs in the PG and so on. In other words, the second highest placement in the pageant (regardless of whether it is a title or RU) will correspond to the second highest placement in the PG, and so on.

3.6 If the hierarchy of titles or RU positions is unclear, then their order of importance will be determined by the reverse order in which they are announced.

3.7 If the format of a pageant is completely different from the format of the PG, the Game Master will decide the score system format at his discretion.

★WHEN WILL THE PG RESULTS BE POSTED?★1. PG results will be computed and tabulated by xis. It will be posted at least two days after the pageant was concluded.

2. An updated leaderboard will be posted after every 5 or more games.

3. For any discrepancies with your scores, you can post a reply in the result thread or send a private message to the game master.
